Sales in Tiffany's three channels of distribution were as follows: U.S. Retail sales increased 11 percent over 1993, and comparable store sales rose 10 percent due to strong growth in Tiffany's New York and branch stores; Direct Marketing sales were 11 percent higher than a year ago due to gains in both catalog and corporate sales; International Retail sales rose 18 percent, with increases achieved in most of Tiffany's international markets. All results are based on preliminary, unaudited sales. William R. Chaney, Chairman, said, "We are very pleased that the strong U.S. sales growth we've seen throughout 1994 continued in the holiday season, reflecting the ongoing success of our merchandising and marketing initiatives. We are also gratified by our sales results in most international markets. Retail sales in Japan in the holiday period, while below the exceptional growth rate of the third quarter, increased 14 percent in U.S. dollars and 4 percent in yen on a same store basis." "We expect to achieve solid sales and earnings increases for fiscal year 1994. Looking to 1995, Tiffany's opportunities for growth around the world remain very substantial and we are optimistic about our ability to make significant progress," Mr. Chaney added. Tiffany & Co. is the internationally renowned jeweler and specialty retailer.
